Abstract :
An electromechanical, plunger type 50 relay is modelled in EMTP/ATP using TACS. Mechanical, magnetic, and electrical characteristics are represented in the form of simple mathematical models that can provide a useful tool for studying the dynamic responses of the Type 50 devices and incorporating them into a power system transient analysis. This paper is the second part of a summary report by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) of work on relay modeling sponsored by the Bonneville Power Administration. (BPA). It presents the Electro-Magnetic Transient Program/Alternative Transient Program (EMTP/ATP) model for plunger type 50 instantaneous overcurrent relays that compare with actual tests performed on the devices on a power system simulator
